Wanyama apologises for 'reckless' red card

Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama has apologised for the red card he picked up in Saturday's 1-0 Premier League away defeat to Norwich City.

The Kenya international was given a second yellow card for a needless challenge on Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and Alex Tettey netted the winner for the home side just three minutes later.

Manager Ronald Koeman was angry with the player for his ill-discipline after the match and Wanyama has since taken to his personal Instagram to admit he had been "irresponsible".

"I would just like to apologise to the manager, fans and everyone at the club for my red card yesterday," he wrote on Sunday.

"It was reckless and irresponsible and I should have used my experience to have not let it happen, especially when I was on a yellow card.

"I now just want to focus on getting back on the pitch and helping the team as much as I can."

The defeat was Southampton's fourth in their last five league games, leaving the side languishing 13th in the table after 20 games.
